With beer, wine, cider, food and live music at Wychwood Barns, you can't really go wrong. Last weekend I attended the first Ontario Southwest City Fare hosted by the iYellow Wine Club, a pop up event featuring food and drink from restaurants, breweries and more, all from the region of Southwestern Ontario spanning South Cayuga to London to Chatham-Kent to Windsor. The iYellow Wind Club provided everyone a wine glass, as well as a nifty contraption of a plate (with a hole to hold the wine glass) and we walked around, picking at the 80+ food/beverage items to try.
I took two guests (my parents)... because I'm cool like that, my dad is a self-proclaimed 'foodie', the parents are kind of funny when they've had a few glasses of wine and beer, plus they graciously provide the internet that I use to upload my mass amounts of blog photos. Speaking of blog photos, I took quite a few at #OSWCityFare...

Overall, a great couple hours of eating and drinking held in a beautiful space. I was pretty wowed at the fresh, quality products available just a couple hours drive from Toronto. I should probably be a better tourist in my own province. A few of the vendors are actually quite close to Waterloo, ON (where I go to school) and I'm 100% sure that in the near future I'll have to treat my parents to a wine tour or a meal at Six Thirty Nine or the Twisted Lemon out in Southwestern Ontario.
Have you ever ventured out to Southwestern Ontario?
I received complimentary tickets to attend this event.
